My wife and I visited The Wig Shop after we had dinner at Willie's on Beacon Hill. When we walked…read moredown Temple, I saw it from across the street. My wife refused to believe that it wasn't a wig store. I laughed, opened the outer door, walked into a small vestibule, and opened the inner door to find a cocktail oasis. The hostess said they were very busy, but found us 2 seats and a table that we shared with another couple. The environment makes it easy to meet new people, and soon we were all chatting away, enjoying the music and the ambiance. Our server was great. She brought us water and dropped off the "menu" - part menu and part comic book. It was so innovative. All the cocktails are custom creations, but they do offer what they call "tabletop classics" as well. You go here to try new cocktails, not cocktails you can get anywhere. Go ahead, be daring! I had two Curly Colas, a take on a rum and cola, but nothing like anything I have had previously. Two kinds of rum, Averna, lemon and a little saline. It is served on ice with a dehydrated mushroom. Simply outstanding! My wife had a Bergamot Spritz that she loved. There are many cocktail places in Boston, but nothing like this! Go there and enjoy.

Everyone in our party enjoyed their drinks - alcoholic and non! Our friends got some small bites to go along with their cocktails. The seating space has couches to chill on, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Downstairs there is a private room that can be reserved for certain parties. Service was great, and super helpful with questions on the menu. Checkout this spot if you're in the Downtown crossing area and would like some unique drinks before grabbing dinner in the area.

We went with her recommendations and will definitely be back. Forgot to take pics but the fried pickles were great. Burger was juicy and delicious - forgot the name but the burger meat was a blend. We ordered a duck taco type appetizer. Not a taco because it was tucked in lettuce and not hot but the flavors were a nice blend. It's something I'd expect to taste at some Seaport spot not at a friendly neighborhood hang out. Pleasant surprise. I'd order it again. My friend was wearing her birthday sash so they brought her a cupcake and sang :) A lovely neighborhood gem we will definitely return to.

The cocktails were great! Between the two of us we got a gin based drink (purple rain) and a rum based drink (lock & key) and some truffle fries. We loved our drinks, and our bartender- absolute top notch service! This place can get busy, so you'll need reservations and you'll need a password to get in. They've been open for about five years, so if you haven't ventured in yet, definitely put this place on your list! Lentz_explore

Once instructions were provided the waitress was also very considerate and friendly. I would start here drinks only. Drinks were good. Desserts tasted store bought. Great place for couples or groups. Small seating area holds ~25. Just 8 stools at the bar. That's it. A small intimate space but worth experiencing the creative drinks.

I got the 'Maverick' which was a blueberry sour. If you like sour beers I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try. I was the only one in the restaurant, so it was hard to get a sense of the vibe, but the restaurant itself was clean and had great music playing! The server was great, he even checked on which beers they had in growlers for me! This location is close to the Maverick Station Blue Line stop in Boston. It's a short walk from the station to the restaurant, but it's not too bad.

They have super spacious seating, great for parties, birthdays, casual date nights, night out with the boys (or girls). Plenty of beer selections, great appetizers. I'll try to order a quick grab bite on the go while working and their crispy kickin' chicken is a good eat! Eyeing the crispy cod crunch and DB ultimate burger on my days off. Then i can take some photos and update! The staff and the manager/owners are really accommodating, the place is always hopping on weekends and "happy hour" times. Support them. It's worth it!

You have to enter the building with a small fox picture, go down a set of stairs and check in at the counter of said restaurant before they lead you into the back where the speakeasy is. The menu is "set" in that they have a particular cuisine focus for the night and the four food dishes are predetermined as well as the first drink. That being said, you get to order three more drinks from their cocktail menu that range from lighter to more spirit forward, ending with more dessert type cocktails. All the drink flavors were so unique and a fun twist. The food was actually very substantial. Good flavors as well. Our favorite dishes were the lamb cigars (large egg roll shape with eggplant and spices) and the whole branzino. Everything was good though. Service was a very friendly and they were open about the fact that if you didn't like a drink they'd make you another one.

She was great! Really enjoyed talking with her and she had great drinks recommendations. The food was delicious and very unique which was refreshing. Its a 2 hour experience with 4 drinks, 3 food courses and a dessert. You definitely wont be hungry after. Highly recommend for a date night.

I sampled the following drinks: Pimms Cup Fruity liqueur cut with ginger beer and lemon juice, so doesn't taste too sweet, begs for seconds. Louisiana Express Sweet punch, perhaps too sweet, but the guava plays happily with vodka. Whattamelon Bae Perhaps not always on the menu, but if you're in the mood for an ice cold slurry of watermelon and vodka, lemon and rosemary, you're in luck. Finally, and of course, the vaunted mac and cheese should be on every human's bucket list. Gooey and garlic infused. Cozy, great drinks, great music, there's nothing not to like here.

Totally worth the hype!…read more Came here for drinks with friends and was blown away with the creativity of the cocktails and the warmth of the staff.

The other couples during the seating were lovely as well. Things I loved: *pay in advance--you pay when you make the reservation so you can just leave at the end *the cocktails--among the best you can find in boston. You can taste the care that goes into the menu preparation. *the service--we had such a nice evening that flew by Things of note: *the seating goes by pretty fast--for the volume of alcohol (3.5 drinks), the 90ish minute seating is too short. We ended up having to drink faster than we wanted to *the bar snacks--while tasty, they were teeny tiny. See my photo of the banchan--meant to be shared among two people. I was anticipating slightly more volumous snacks All in all, I totally recommend this experience and would definitely go back
